Food and Drink
Tap water is safe but it is advisable for visitors to use bottled drinking water which is available for sale in hotels and super markets. Other water sources should be regarded as being potentially contaminated, and water used for drinking, brushing teeth or making ice should have first been boiled or otherwise sterilised. Milk is unpasteurised and should be boiled. Powdered or tinned milk is available and is advised. Avoid dairy products which are likely to have been made from unboiled milk. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish. Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled.
Health Care
Modern private and public hospitals and clinics are available in all cities and big towns. Tourist should contact travelers' medical insurance companies to cover any medical contingencies while away from their home countries.
